I was a happy camper when I spotted this lovely green glass bowl and wouldn't you know it? I found the vase at the next thrift store.
And look at how nicely they go together! It would have been even nicer if I pressed the drop cloth before taking the photos!
It was an awesome vintage sheet day today too! Husband and I stopped by 3 thrift stores this morning and I found a few sheets at each one. I LOVE the one on the top of the pile!!! So much fun.
We were out and about this morning early. I promised Husband a whole lot of fun. After the first thrift store, he asked me where to next? I did not really have a plan. I said, home? He asked me what about the promise of fun? I had to admit that I had lied. But in a nice, not harmful kind of way. He suggested the cheese shop. Who was I to say no? The cheese shop is right next to a fantastic quilt shop and down the road from 2 very interesting not often visited thrift stores. Off we went into the rain and the wind of November. The last thrift store stop is right next to a great veg/deli shop and Husband suggested a picnic. Why not? And I remembered that this is the weekend of the bald eagle festival. The eagles congregate to feast on the salmon that die after spawning. We had a lovely picnic in the van while watching the bald eagles and the wind and the waves. Saw tons of spawning salmon and several swans. Awesome, spontaneous fun with a few thrift shops thrown in there for my thrifty fix.
I did wish at one point for an interpretative sign to explain exactly what the heck the eagles were doing when I realized we were parked right in front of just that. Oops. It gave a very clear explanation. I think I had actually proclaimed that if I were in charge of the world, I would have such a sign. Then I noticed it. Oops.
I will be linking up with Sophie's Flea Market Finds and with Apron Thrift Girl's Thrift Share Monday.
Check out all the other finds!
Love the green glass - great finds!
